The scrap conveyor - easy transportation for scrap and waste

A scrap conveyor is a system that efficiently transports scrap and waste within industrial plants. They are ideal for the automatic distribution of steel or aluminum waste into containers or collection points. Their robust and maintenance-friendly design ensures high reliability while reducing labour costs and optimizing material flow.

Our scrap conveyor, a hinged belt conveyor in a particularly robust design, offers the ideal solution for transporting scrap materials. With standardized conveyor cross-sections and a flexible usable width, it can be precisely adapted to individual requirements. Robust hinged plates, driven by special conveyor chains, enable a safe and even material flow. The flexible design – whether horizontal or inclined – and versatile installation options make it a durable and maintenance-friendly conveyor system.

The scrap conveyor transports materials using robust hinged plates that are driven by two sturdy conveyor chains. A powerful geared motor drives the system and ensures smooth movement, even under high loads. The materials are fed onto the hinged plates via feed hoppers, move along the conveyor path – horizontally or upwards – and leave the conveyor via chutes. The design enables large and heavy scrap parts to be transported safely.

Advantages of our solutions

Efficient material transport

Scrap conveyors ensure the fast and reliable removal of production waste such as sheet metal scrap or punching waste. They enable a continuous material flow and thus prevent material jams or delays in the production process. This saves time and increases productivity.

Robust construction and durability

Scrap conveyors are specially designed for transporting heavy, sharp-edged and bulky materials. The components used, such as those for hinge plates and conveyor chains, are extremely resilient and guarantee a long service life. Companies benefit from lower maintenance and repair costs, as the conveyors work reliably even under demanding conditions.

Reduced costs through automation

By automating material transport, scrap conveyors significantly reduce labor costs. Manual disposal of scrap or waste is no longer necessary, which also reduces operating costs. Production downtime is also minimized, as the removal process runs smoothly and machines can continue working without interruption.

Support plates freely accessible after removing the cover

Support plates are easily accessible, making maintenance easier and saving costs.

Improved occupational safety

A scrap conveyor significantly improves occupational safety in production. Production waste is transported away automatically and safely, avoiding material lying around. The risk of accidents at work due to tripping hazards or contact with sharp-edged materials is drastically reduced. Manual handling of hazardous materials is also reduced to a minimum.

High flexibility

Scrap conveyors are extremely flexible and can be adapted to different production conditions. Whether for wet, dry, heavy or light materials – the conveyors can be individually configured and easily integrated into existing systems. This versatility makes them an ideal solution for companies with diverse requirements.
